3Jo 1:4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.
This Sunday (the last day of Summer), both my boys got baptized!!. It was a great thing for us as parents, to witness a very special time in their lives after a few years of being asking to be baptized, finally the desire of their heart was answered.
There are a few things that are important in life as it is the soul of our boys, and seeing them walking in the truth I can truly say: I have no grater joy than this. And to have the blessing of having the sign over them and being part of the family of Christ.
God blessed us greatly with an amazing church, a God fearing church where God clearly brought us here for His good purpose. For His glory and His fame. So that we could learn to fear and to honour Him. To grow and to change.
There is nothing I can ask for. My kids are growing in a committed church where the covenant made with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, is not taken lightly, where the new covenant is a covenant of grace, better and bigger. Where my kids can grow up with their eyes in the pearl of great price and expect to be accountable for their actions. Where their faith is something you should see, not just something you talk about.
Their baptism was special. Was the desire of their heart which is God's work alone. And also the inclusion of them as covenant children.
Is there anything better than this? Is there anything I should wish for more than to see that my kids are walking in the truth?
To God be the glory!.
